- Headed out for a last minute trip to Nutimik for a couple day stay and decided to try to use our Ice tent (Eskimo Outbreak 650XD). Well It was super hot and so glad we picked an electrical site so we could use our AC ha ha. Did a little fishing and checked out the bridge, sturgeon falls and did a little review of the campsite and its amenities. It held up pretty well and will definitely be using it again but maybe on a cooler weekend. Check it out.
Looks like a GREAT camp site.
Nutimik is a beautiful campsite. I haven't fished there but I've heard just past Blueberry Hill can be decent for bass.
I’ll have to keep that in mind. It is now in my book of places to fish lol
@@ReelLifeWithMike Next time you're out that way check out the Bannock Point Petroforms if you haven't already.
First rule of doing crimes: Leave the phone at home.
Answered My Curiosity on This Definitely Nice Set up as Well actually Looks More Cozy
Other then on a hot day. Ha ha it can get quite warm
@@ReelLifeWithMike Lol And My Name Happens To Be Mike Too 😆
How did you vent the AC unit through the tent wall? Also, how did you drain the condensate?
Also, what size tarp did you use?
The vent went under the skirt as well as the condensation line. I believe the tarp was a 20x20ft
I appreciate this review. I was wondering if this would work in summer and with rain. Thank you. Was it sturdy?
It was super sturdy. We put a tarp over with the rain. It is still a cloth style tent. But other then the heat it was really good
@@ReelLifeWithMike Thank you for answering. Your video was really Good.
Subed x n ha ha smokey, yikes no fire!! MISTY.... is there a proper 4 seasons tent...?
How is the Eskimo for leaking? I understand they're not meant to be waterproof but will they tolerate any water at all?
Not the best. It is ok for a drizzle but anything more it’ll
Come through the seams
What are you using for a rain fly?
Actually it was just a tarp lol. But we have upgraded since to an actual rain fly from a camping store.
Very informative. Ever had that thing in super windy conditions?
Not with regular camping but we’ve been in some pretty serious wind during the winter ones.
Food coolers in the tent in bear country?
Nice Car !!
This one is insulated right, will the non insulated one work too?
I think the non insulated may work better as the material is a bit more waterproof. The insulated is water resistant but there is still a cloth layer to it
What btu is the ac
Does bug come into the tent ?
Yup the bottom is open so I’m sure they can. We dident find it bad though
Are (hub style tents) generally not water proof?
They are somewhat but I dident want it drenched. I’ll be trying it again this summer and I’ll let ya know
@@ReelLifeWithMike Thanks. I am trying to locate a used tent (Shappell WH6500) that I can trade for. I really need some form of an 'instant' tent so I can still camp w/o so much set-up work.
@@psfphotography I am actually looking at a gazelle T4 Overland edition camping tent for summer. it is a hub style as well check it out. I mean this one is for summer only of course.
If your country has a hiking ban it's failed
At this time there was severe drought and high chances of Forrest fires. They don’t want people going as then don’t know if they could save them
In time.
